0:00 Bitterroot (i) Lines
0:04 Work is holy Lines
0:04 my teacher said Lines
0:06 looking out a window Lines
0:07 at the empty expanse Lines
0:08 of our poems. Lines
0:11 Beyond Lines
0:12 where he could see, Lines
0:13 in the arid, brush steppe Lines
0:14 above the city Lines
0:15 of Yakima, Washington, Lines
0:17 the bitteroot Lines
0:18 turned on Lines
0:19 its primus of pink Lines
0:20 and white light Lines
0:22 a few hundred feet Lines
0:23 from the interstate. Lines
0:25 I'd worked forty years Lines
0:27 to see a thing Lines
0:28 so perfectly tuned Lines
0:29 and burning clear Lines
0:30 below a sky's blue flame. Lines
0:35 Once a rattlesnake, Lines
0:36 the colour of Yakima Lines
0:38 earth lifted the ancient, Lines
0:39 holy light of her rattle Lines
0:41 toward me. Lines
0:43 Through the window Lines
0:44 in her cage, I watched Lines
0:46 the whole desert Lines
0:47 undulate Lines
0:47 down the hollow Lines
0:49 coiled length Lines
0:49 of her body. Lines
